lyrics

I re-collect your soul in the ribs of the sparkling fish
they consider it their greatest gift

to be made to move so
out under the sun
the water was never so clear

the city laid a line, miles in the wandering hills
it lay next to the minnowed stream
thin threads were pulling forward
fine in the gossamer wind
and coiled up in a summer dream

and we made to move so
out under the sun
a cloud was never so near

whatever distance the sky
whatever answers may lie still unknown
wherever soft fields call come
your body breaks there
bit by bit
it goes home
bones to loam

the stars a shining chorus, just pinholes in the firmament
marionette beams reel in complete dreams
we met the days before us
with notes of impossible will
they carry us, the seasons still

and you were removed so
a fortunate sun
that shines on a path so clear

(chorus)

so I re-collect your soul in the ribs of the sparkling fish
I do it slowly, bit by bit
